4. BIOS CONFIGURATION

Award's BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify

the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-

backed CMOS SRAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power

is turned off.

4.1. ENTERING SETUP

Power ON the computer and press <Del> immediately will allow you to enter

Setup. If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to

enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or

pressing the "RESET" bottom on the system case. You may also restart by

simultaneously press <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Del> keys.

4.5. STANDARD CMOS SETUP MENU

The items in Standard CMOS Setup Menu (Figure 4.2) are divided into 9

categories. Each category includes no, one or more than one setup items.

Use the arrows to highlight the item and then use the <PgUp> or <PgDn>

keys to select the value you want in each item.

•Date

The date format is <day>, <month> <date> <year>.

day The day, from Sun to Sat, determined by the BIOS and is

display-only

month The month, Jan. through Dec.

date The date, from 1 to 31 (or the maximum allowed in the

month)

year The year, from 1994 through 2079

•Time

The times format in <hour> <minute> <second>. The time is calculated

base on the 24-hour military-time clock. For example, 1 p.m. is

13:00:00.

•Primary HDDs / Secondary HDDs

The cateory identifies the types of hard disk from drive C to F that has

been installed in the computer. There are two types: auto type, and user

definable type. User type is user-definable; Auto type which will

automatically detect HDD type.

Note that the specifications of your drive must match with the drive

table. The hard disk will not work properly if you enter improper

information for this category.

If you select User Type, related information will be asked to enter to the

following items. Enter the information directly from the keyboard and

press <Enter>. Such information should be provided in the

documentation form your hard disk vendor or the system manufacturer.

CYLS. Number of cylinders

HEADS number of heads

PRECOMP write precomp

LANDZONE Landing zone

SECTORS number of sectors

If a hard disk has not been installed select NONE and press <Enter>.

•Drive A type / Drive B type

The category identifies the types of floppy disk drive A or drive B that

has been installed in the computer.

None No floppy drive installed

360K, 5.25 in. 5.25 inch PC-type standard drive; 360K byte

capacity.

1.2M, 5.25 in. 5.25 inch AT-type high-density drive; 1.2M byte

capacity (3.5 inch when 3 Mode is Enabled).

720K, 3.5 in. 3.5 inch double-sided drive; 720K byte capacity

1.44M, 3.5 in. 3.5 inch double-sided drive; 1.44M byte capacity.

2.88M, 3.5 in. 3.5 inch double-sided drive; 2.88M byte capacity.

•Floppy 3 Mode Support (for Japan Area)

Disabled Normal Floppy Drive.

Drive A Drive A is 3 mode Floppy Drive.

Drive B Drive B is 3 mode Floppy Drive.

Both Drive A & B are 3 mode Floppy Drives.

•Video

The category detects the type of adapter used for the primary system

monitor that must match your video display card and monitor. Although

secondary monitors are supported, you do not have to select the type in

setup.

EGA/VGA Enhanced Graphics Adapter/Video Graphics Array. For

EGA, VGA, SVGA, or PGA monitor adapters

CGA 40 Color Graphics Adapter, power up in 40 column mode

CGA 80 Color Graphics Adapter, power up in 80 column mode

MONO Monochrome adapter, includes high resolution

monochrome adapters

•Halt on

The category determines whether the computer will stop if an error is

detected during power up.

NO Errors The system boot will not stop for any error that

may be detected

All Errors Whenever the BIOS detects a non-fatal error the

system will be stopped and you will be prompted

All, But Keyboard The system boot will not stop for a keyboard

error; it will stop for all other errors

All, But Diskette The system boot will not stop for a disk error; it

will stop for all other errors

6SMM7

4-7

All, But Disk/Key The system boot will not stop for a keyboard or

disk error; it will stop for all other errors

•Memory

The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On

Self Test) of the BIOS.

Base Memory

The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or

conventional) memory installed in the system.

The value of the base memory is typically 512 K for systems

with 512 K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for

systems with 640 K or more memory installed on the

motherboard.

Extended Memory

The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present

during the POST.

This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU's

memory address map.

Expanded Memory

Expanded Memory in memory defined by the

Lotus/Intel/Microsoft (LIM) standard as EMS.

Many standard DOS applications can not utilize memory above

640 K; the Expanded Memory Specification (EMS) swaps

memory, which not utilized by DOS with a section, or frame, so

these applications, can access all of the system memory.

Memory can be swapped by EMS is usually 64 K within 1 MB or

memory above 1 MB, depends on the chipset design.

Expanded memory device driver is required to use memory as

Expanded Memory.

Other Memory

This refers to the memory located in the 640 K to 1024 K

BIOS Configuration

4-8

address space. This is memory that can be used for different

applications.

DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much

base memory free for application programs. Most use for this

area is Shadow RAM.

•Virus Warning

If it is set to enable, the category will flash on the screen when there is

any attempt to write to the boot sector or partition table of the hard disk

drive. The system will halt and the warning message will appear in the

mean time. You can run anti-virus program to locate the problem.

Default value is Disabled.

Enabled Activate automatically when the system boots up causing

a warning message to appear when anything attempts to

access the boot sector or hard disk partition table

Disabled No warning message to appear when anything attempts to

access the boot sector or hard disk partition table

•CPU Internal Cache / External Cache

These two categories speed up memory access. However, it depends on

CPU / chipset design.

The default value is Enabled.

Enabled Enable cache

Disabled Disable cache

•CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking

The default value is Enabled.

Enabled Enable CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking

Disabled Disable CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking

•Quick Power On Self Test

This category speeds up Power On Self Test (POST) after you power on

the computer. If it is set to Enable, BIOS will shorten or skip some check

items during POST.

The default value is Enabled.

Enabled Enable quick POST

Disabled Normal POST

•Boot From LAN First

The default value is Disabled.

Enabled Enable Boot From LAN First

Disabled Disable Boot From LAN First

•Boot Sequence

This category determines which drive computer searches first for the

disk operating system (i.e., DOS).

Default value is A, C, SCSI.

X1, X2, X3 System will first search for X1 disk drive then X2 disk

drive and then X3 disk drive.
